As the annual goes to press, an otherwise happy school year is saddened by the passing of
a devoted history teacher at Lamar, Mrs. Louise Robb.
Unfortunately, an early deadline prevents the Orenda staff from covering the important
spring events still to come. As the last page of copy is mailed to the publisher, and the staff be-
gins its long wait 'til May, l would like to mention some of Lamar's important spring events and
to give thanks to the many people who have made this Orenda possible.
Mrs. Ruth Denny is preparing her drama department for the One-Act Play Contest. Lamar
was first in the state last year and there is every indication that they will win another victory
with this year's entry, "The Little Flaw of Ernesto Lippif' Mr, Bill McGee has iust returned from
the Border Olympics and is preparing the track team for district competition. The swimming
team, under Stanley Roeper's supervision, has just won the city championship and will now con-
tend for state honors. The May Fete, always the highlight of Lamar's social season, will occur on
May 5. It is presented by the drama and music departments under the supervision of Miss Elise
Hawkins.
There are many people to whom I would like to give our sincere thanks: Dr. Watts, our prin-
cipal, Mr. Costlow, our assistant principal, Mrs. Boren, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Kobs, and Miss Dunn,
for their constant help and cooperation, Mr. Mills, Parker Gregg, and the Student Council, for
their unyielding help on subscriptions and pictures, Miss Filson and David Amidon for their in-
valuable aid in art, our professional photographers-Mr. J. P. Crowe, Photo Reflex Studio, Provine
Studio, and Roulande Studio, our student photographer, Bill Pittman, for his relentless work, and
our Taylor Publishing Company representatives, Mr. Martin Hamilton and Mr. Deon Priest. To all the
faculty of Lamar we again say thank you for your ever-present understanding.
No words of praise can express our gratitude to our two wonderful sponsors, Miss Drew
Black Staggs and Miss Helen Weinberg. Through their leadership and guidance this, the twenty-
fourth Orenda, has become a reality.
And to you, the Student Body, I say thank you for your fine support of your Orenda and
I hope that in the years to come you will glance through it occasionally, and compare the pres-
ent, NOW, to your years at Mirabeau B. Lamar High School, THEN.
